The sweetest mountain-scape for a couple of nature loving backpackers getting hitched
🌲💛🥾🎒🏔️
Every time someone orders a specific design that is tight and perfect, we give them a little shpiel about my style being loose and artistic, just to make sure we are a good match. But holy cow I didn’t know I had this one in me. Having a painting background and decorating cakes for 5 years be damned… the imposter syndrome will always sneak through. Please revel in this cake with me, it’s so pretty and I’m just so honored to have made it for the sweet dirtbag couple (takes one to know one!!) PS: she’s a pistachio cake with raspberry curd, and cinnamon streusel with salted caramel!

Bananarama in champagne coupes!! 🍌
My sweet friend turned 40 and had a huge 1940’s USO themed party. She requested bananarama, tiramisu, and key lime pie bites 💥 My biggest issue was trying to find the right outfit… Heather suggested Rosie the Riveter, and I’m gonna be real w yall, hot take: I hate Rosie the Riveter as a feminist icon (sure, women can go to work once the US needed help building up the war machine, right?) Anyhow my wifey and I went dressed as beatniks/pacifists and it was such a joy to celebrate Heather in our own goofy way 💞

The ranunculus are starting to stretch out… spring is almost here!! When someone orders Bakers Choice Florals, I get to do whatever I want, and yes please thank you. That’s my fave 🧡

So grateful for the opportunity to sit down and talk with about my cake journey, my distaste for fondant, my progressive politics, and of course a little iPhone-photography photo session with my ol pal Viktor. Got the cover, babyyyy! Link in bio to read about my journey 💞

The sweetest Peter Rabbit themed baby shower for 🌼🐇🌷🐑 with some petite cakes, custom Italian rainbow cookies, lemon cupcakes, and 2 different layer cakes… plus some bunny cookies from my talented peer .bakes of course! This vision came together so beautifully.

That moment when you realize… maybe I need a better setup for photographing my cakes 🧐 BIG MOOD TBH. When will we get a possum emoji?!

A Galentine after my own heart ❤️ I call these “minimal Lambeth” because it doesn’t have a million pounds of piped buttercream, drop strings, shell border… but she’s still a maximalist’s dream with ruffles, bows, cherries, and some pearl glitter spray.

Tiramisu is in the Valentine’s mixed pastry box! Last days to get those orders in 💝 Made with zippy cold brew, some of the most decadent cocoa powder I’ve ever had on my shelf, and of course mascarpone custard dreams… even my HR department wants in.
